  3. Yes, it is # 2 for the son of John Jensen from Petersburg who while on the Fish Board has had his own violations. Genetics perhaps? This time his son may be in serious trouble. Fishing in closed waters is something that is taken very seriously by the troopers. It may result in revocation of some fishing permits. It is amazing that such a small community generates more violations per capita by far than any other place. Isn't Petersburg home to our Commissioner of fish and Game?

  5. fishing in a closed area can just mean that you were 20 seconds late getting your rings up,in the case of a gilnetter it can mean you had a few more fish than you thought and took an extra 10 minutes picking, it can also mean you drifted over the line by accident, but they make it sound like the guy knowingly went into closed waters cause there were tons of fish there and made a set on the sneak, which is seldom the case

  6. None of the six were were using gill net gear. Of course it is possible that all six of the offenders just made an innocent error in timing their rings up. On the other hand what are the odds that all six in the same location on the same day would make the same mistake. No, it is more likely that Jensen took a calculated risk and got caught. Most out of season citations are a result of fishers who knowingly put their gear in the water before the season opens or leave it in to get the last set. And when someone like Jensen is busted multiple times in a season and in prior seasons as he has, it is hard to claim it was just an innocent mistake. Just a chip off the old block from a community that has more than its fair share of offenders.

  10. We need to have the line squared up somewhere offshore so we can make the set front side and back more effectively

  11. Yeah, it wasn't there fault, right Bobby T. Must be something in the water in Petersburg that just makes it physically impossible to follow the rules. It swells up their greed glands so much until they squirt so hard they can't read the GPS. Yes, that must be it.
